Per Ödling, telecommunications professor at Lunds university, is clear on the importance of the country also being digitized. He reckons that Sweden will be torn apart if the rural areas can't take a part of the increased values that digitization brings.

Developing a solution that reduces the need for consultants, while being a consultant, may seem like a stupid choice. However, that's exactly the road Johan Barrebo, founder and CEO at IS Tools, chose to take.
– We've now managed to establish ourselves in Europe and I see great opportunities to claim market shares also in other countries, he says.

Increased growth meant additional processes and more information that had to be handled. For Eltel, the situation wasn't without its issues. A cloud solution that could evolve at the company's pace and give control over all the details was therefore implemented.

— The biggest strength is that we now have complete control over all the details and that we can manage everything between invoicing and our different key figures, says Niklas.

Next year, the new data protection act will come into place. At that point every company needs to keep a very good eye on their stored personal data, something that could implicate a change of entire IT-systems. This is a problem that the users of the IS Tools IT-system don’t need to worry about.

— We already have the functionality required to meet the new demands, says Johan Barrebo, CEO of IS Tools.
